Welcome to 2022!

The SBD World's Strongest Man (WSM) was showing this evening and I learnt some things from watching different athletes compete (against varying odds) to emerge WSM.

Let me share them with you:

• Put your best foot forward

Find your areas of strength and maximize them. Every turf is not yours but in your space, be the head huncho.

Start the year from a place of most advantage.

• You may falter but keep going

One dude tripped during one activity but he recovered and kept on pushing. He got the highest points in that round.

Even if you don't start well or falter along the way, recover.

• It is not about what happens to you

One athlete tore a leg muscle during a particular challenge. Yet, he did not allow it stop him from finishing that challenge or subsequently, participating in others.

Whatever comes in 2022, keep pushing till you get to your goal.

• Know when you have hit your limit

Your are not indefatigable or omnipotent, some things will drain your energy, power and zest.

Learn to identify them and those moments when you simply have to take a break.

• Everyone can be a winner

There were category winners, stage winners, record breakers, ladder board leaders and overall winners. As well as the guys who gave their best but did not quite make it.

In 2022, judge your progress by the goals you set not by others' achievements.

Welcome to your future!
